Albert Vinall Diary |
|
Albert
was like many other young, courageous Australian men, enlisting to
fight for his country. He, also, was meticulous in keeping
memorabilia, almost everything he could have been given, bus and
train tickets, postcards, letters, photographs, etc. Sadly, he
died a few years ago before I could talk with him at length.
